Early morning rise.
Coffee in hand.
Back porch.
Listening to the magpies.
Watching the pigeons.
Missing my friends.
Time to check in on one of them.
If things seem normal it is an illusion.
But that won’t stop me from enjoying it.

Sweat
Lyrics from the song
are meant to reference movement
dancing
having fun.
Not melting in a puddle
due to an extreme heat wave.
Don’t you Feel Dumb
When you make a mistake.
Simple.
Yet it affects you so significantly.
Preventable.
Yes.
But that is why this mistake
makes you feel
so
dumb!
Seams
Needed to make clothing.
Such a simple thing.
Yet why do they irritate
when they are done wrong?
Like the one down my back
which now itches
and I can not reach
in order to scratch.
When my mind goes a wandering
Simple thoughts flit through
like Heat Wave!
Or Cats equal Cuteness overload.
Fresh salads wanted.
Dry the skin.
Give up following politics.
It is bad for your mental health.
Wait, what?
Look the birds are singing this morning.
Coffee is brewed.
Sip the good life.
Or watch the neighbours!
Day of the week
Is it Sunday
Or did Monday come early.
Friday is usually the being of a rest.
For most people.
Wednesday gets a bad rap
But Tuesday even more so.
Why does Saturday mean so much?
I’m just glad Thursday’s are good days for me.
Until then I will take this day
That I woke up on
And see what adventures await.
Thinking of you
It is selfish of me to not want to help.
I bring back the guilt of what I did not do.
Then I realize once again why I left.
Guilt is no longer something I want in my life.
So I’ll think of you and remember why it’s better to be selfish
When my mental state is being traumatized once again
And no guilt will be given to the things left undone.
Excoriation
I have decided I should look into it more
before deciding that I have it.
After all.
I am not a Doctor
or Nurse
or any other medically trained professional.
So maybe my self diagnosis
is
wrong?
After all, I am not my parents
who decide what disease they believe they have
or the crazy ways that they can cure things.
I may never convince them
but at least
I can be healthier myself
and treat the professionals with compassion
not with suspicion.
Rules of the Universe
A good parent follows through.
The government is not always on your side.
Neighbours can be good or bad.
A country is only a concept given form though laws.
Games played do not always have a winner.
Science is only magic that is being discovered.
Miracles do happen every day.
Most people are oblivious to the obvious around them.
Wise people are not always the nicest.
The rich like to get richer.
The poor struggle to stay alive.
Poems are merely words strung together.
My favorite is there is always an exception to the rule.
Scared
Comfort zones are comfortable.
Leaving them requires courage.
Taking that initial step is frightening.
Yet inevitably what it does
is actually just expand that comfort zone.
Life can be so funny.
